The primary object of the invention is the provision of a plow share of this character, wherein an offset for a bolt is provided therein and the proper thickness given thereto to eliminate the welded bar and thus assuring a perfect fit on any plow standard now using the welded bar pattern of share and the share being brought to a sharp edge while the share between the bar and blade of said share has a welllleted corner assuring maximum strength and wear in the use ofthe plow.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a plow share of this character wherein the same is in one piece and is devoid of a welded bar and is provided with a sharp cutting edge at the bar as well as being formed with a well lleted inside corner increasing its wearing qualities, the character of make-up of the share being such as to effect a substantial reduction in cost in the production thereof and assuring to the farming communities beneficial results.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a plow share of this character, which is simple in its construction, thoroughly reliable and eicient in its operation, strong, durable and inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary bottom plan view showing the assembly of a plow share moldboard and plow standard, the share being constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the share removed from the assembly.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary top plan view of the share.

Figure 4 is a side elevation thereof looking toward the stub landside or gunnel of the share.

Figure 5 -is a fragmentary end elevation.

Figure 6 is a sectional View on the line 6-6 of Figure 3 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary perspective View of the share.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing. 5

Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates a portion of a. plow standard which is of conventional kind and this carries the plow share constituting the present invention and hereinafter fully described. l

The plow share I0 is of the non-welded bar type and has integrally formed therewith the point Il and outside landside I2, respectively, the latter being provided with an instruck offset I3 having a suitable hole I4 for accommodating a 15 bolt I which has its head countersunk in the offset I3 and is passed through the standard A so that in this manner the share is made fast to the standard. This offset provides the proper thickness as a substitute for the welded bar and accommodates a regular outside and inside landside.

A frog I1 is made fast to the standard A by a bolt I8 while bolts I9 and 20, respectively, make fast this frog I'I to the share lil and a moldboard 25 2I.

The share is formed with a Well lleted inside corner 22 so as to give maximum wearing qualities to said share while the offset I3 permits a perfect fitting of the share to the plow now using the welded type of share. The edge 23 at the outside landside I2 presents a sharp cutting edge at the bar as will be clearly apparent from Figures l, 2, 4 and 6 of the drawing.

The regular landside includes the outside and inside portions as at I6 and I1, respectively.

What is claimed is:

1. In a plow share of the kind described, a share body having an outside landside integral therewith and presenting a sharp cutting edge and an inwardly directed offset formed in the outside landside for accommodating a bolt for securing the share body to a plow standard. y

2. In a plow share, a `share body having a bent-over portion forming a landside, a iilleted inside corner formed between the said landside' and the body, an inwardly directed offset in said landside and a sharp cutting edgeformed on the landside.
